Non-Hermitian band topology and skin modes in active elastic media

C Scheibner, WTM Irvine, V Vitelli - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Solids built out of active components can exhibit nonreciprocal elastic coefficients that give
rise to non-Hermitian wave phenomena. Here, we investigate non-Hermitian effects present …

We elaborate that for topological insulators and topological superconductors described by
Dirac models in any dimension and symmetry class, the topological order can be mapped to …

Measurement of topological order based on metric-curvature correspondence

G von Gersdorff, W Chen - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
A unified expression for topological invariants was proposed recently to describe the
topological order in Dirac models belonging to any dimension and symmetry class. We …

Mapping quantum geometry and quantum phase transitions to real space by a fidelity marker

MSM de Sousa, AL Cruz, W Chen - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The quantum geometry in the momentum space of semiconductors and insulators,

-symmetric non-Hermitian Dirac semimetals

WB Rui, MM Hirschmann, AP Schnyder - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Parity-time (PT) symmetry plays an important role both in non-Hermitian and topological
systems. In non-Hermitian systems, PT symmetry can lead to an entirely real-energy …

Unconventional scaling at non-Hermitian critical points

R Arouca, CH Lee, C Morais Smith - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Critical phase transitions contain a variety of deep and universal physics and are intimately
tied to thermodynamic quantities through scaling relations. Yet, these notions are …

Multicritical behavior in topological phase transitions

S Rufo, N Lopes, MA Continentino, MAR Griffith - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Topological phase transitions can be described by the theory of critical phenomena and
identified by critical exponents that define their universality classes. This is a consequence …

Quantum Fisher information and polaron picture for the identification of transition coupling in the quantum Rabi model

ZJ Ying, WL Wang, BJ Li - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
The quantum Rabi model (QRM) is a fundamental model for light-matter interactions. A
fascinating feature of the QRM is that it manifests a quantum phase transition which is …
